Magic Power Finder MPF

The Sabertooth's bench was deathly silent.

Orga stood on the sidelines with his arms crossed, his knuckles slightly white from the effort, and his lips pressed tightly into a straight line.

The arrogant and mocking words from before have now turned into a stinging slap, landing squarely on his face.

In stark contrast to the somber atmosphere here, the entire stadium stands transformed into a Boil, boundless ocean.

Hundreds of thousands of spectators stood up from the stone benches, waving their colorful flags wildly, their screams and cheers echoing throughout the capital.

"I can't believe it! They actually did it!"

"One hundred monsters! Even that so-called S-Class monster was shredded with a single strike!"

"That red-haired woman... her name is 'Titania' Erza, right?"

"That's incredible! Not only is she beautiful, but her strength is terrifying!"

Inside the Fairy Tail Team A rest area, Natsu covered his mouth with both hands and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"See that?! That's our Fairy Tail Erza!"

Gray crossed his arms, exhaled a long breath, and a smile appeared on his lips.

"As expected of Erza, she never disappoints."

In the commentary booth, Chapati jumped to the edge of the table, clutching the megaphone, his face flushed with excitement.

"This is so exciting! It's an unbelievable miracle!"

"Single-handedly stormed the Pandemonium, single-handedly battling a hundred ferocious demons! 'Titania' Erza truly lives up to her name!"

Chapati grabbed a few pieces of parchment with the Bagua symbol in his hand and mysteriously brought them close to the crystal.

"Furthermore, according to an exclusive tip from our special correspondent, this beautiful and talented Erza seems to already be taken!"

These words struck a chord with countless male spectators in the stands who had just come up with Erza as their dream girl, as if they had been struck by a heavy blow to the heart.

Cries of agony rose and fell.

"You can't be kidding me, right?! Such a perfect goddess actually has a boyfriend?!"

"Which bastard struck first?!"

Sitting next to the commentator, Mr. Yajima slowly picked up his teacup, blew away the floating tea leaves, and casually added with a smile.

"Hehehe, this old man is quite clear about this matter."

"Erza's crush is none other than Jiang Bai from Fairy Tail."

"Jiang Bai?!"

The moment those two words were uttered, the male audience members, who had been wailing in anger, suddenly stopped speaking.

The terrifying figure who swept the entire field with a single sword in the opening match on the first day reappeared in my mind.

The men in the stands exchanged glances, their hearts filled with bitterness and envy, but they had no choice but to grit their teeth and silently accept this reality.

"Damn it... If it's Lord Jiang Bai, then there's no way to refute him."

"A stunning beauty paired with a peerless hero—that's quite a fitting match."

"I can't beat them in a fight, and I can't compete with them, so all I can do is offer my best wishes..."

However, before everyone could calm down, old man Yajima put down his teacup and dropped another bombshell with a smile.

"By the way, Mirajane, the star girl who showed off her skills in the ring yesterday, is also Jiang Bai's girlfriend."

The entire arena fell silent for half a second.

Immediately afterwards, an unprecedented surge of overwhelming resentment rose wildly from all parts of the audience.

"What the hell?!"

"Miss Mirajane is his too?!"

"The Titania and the Demon Mira... the two most stunning beauties in the entire kingdom, he actually managed to have them both by himself?!"

In an instant, the envy in the men's hearts transformed into a tidal wave of jealousy.

Why should I?!

How can you, a man, simultaneously have the affections of two stunning beauties?!

The young male mages in the stands gritted their teeth, their hands gripping the stone bricks in front of them tightly.

In reality, no one dares to cause trouble for Jiang Bai to his face, after all, Jiang Bai's strength is obvious to all.

Everyone could only grit their teeth and curse Jiang Bai in their hearts.

On the other hand, the female spectators in the stands displayed completely different expressions.

Many young noble ladies and female mages held their hands to their hearts, their eyes filled with admiration as they gazed at the tall, slender figure in the Fairy Tail stands.

"Lord Jiang Bai is not only the most powerful man in the kingdom, but also so handsome..."

"Since there are already two people around, it doesn't seem entirely impossible for me to be one more, does it?"

"Once the Grand Magic Games are over, I'm definitely going to submit my membership application to Fairy Tail!"

At this moment, in the center of the arena, the smoke and fire from the ruins of the Pandemonium had not yet dissipated.

Erza gripped her sword with one hand, beads of sweat forming on her forehead, her steps slightly unsteady.

Although one hundred monsters were successfully eliminated, the continuous high-intensity Requip and magic bursts still took a heavy toll on physical strength.

High in the stands, Jiang Bai withdrew his gaze and lightly tapped the air with his fingertip.

Silvery-white spatial ripples quietly spread out from beneath Erza's feet.

Erza felt a sudden lightness in her body as the surrounding ruins vanished instantly, and she landed steadily on a soft, reclining bench.

Jiang Bai reached out and put his arm around Erza's shoulder, then pulled the slightly tired red-haired beauty into his arms, letting Erza lean against his chest.

"Thanks for your hard work."

Jiang Bai raised his hand and brushed away the sweat-dampened strands of hair from Erza's forehead.

Mirajane, who was standing nearby, stepped forward with a glass of lukewarm water and smiled as she offered it to Erza.

"Here, Erza, have some water to soothe your throat."

Erza nestled in Jiang Bai's warm embrace, holding her water glass in both hands and sipping it slowly.

In front of all her Fairy Tail companions and hundreds of thousands of spectators, being held so affectionately in Jiang Bai's arms caused the usually dignified "Titania" to blush slightly.

This is completely different from her usual invincible and tough image.

Erza lowered her long eyelashes, a hint of embarrassment rising in her heart, but her body showed no intention of pulling away. Instead, she quietly snuggled deeper into Jiang Bai.

"You did a perfect job." Jiang Bai gently ruffled Erza's long hair and praised her softly.

Erza, a barely perceptible smile playing on her lips, and nodded slightly.

Below the stands, the Pumpkin -headed referee stood before the empty ruins of the ring, sweating profusely.

According to the original competition rules, the contestants from the eight teams should enter the Pandemonium in turn to challenge the remaining monsters.

However, Erza made her debut and swiftly slaughtered all one hundred monsters with overwhelming force.

There wasn't even a trace of a monster left in the main hall for the contestants in the back rows, let alone any monsters.

The remaining seven eager contestants stood still, completely reduced to awkward spectators with nothing left to fight.

Hibiki, the Blue Pegasus, spread his hands, looking helpless.

Jura of Lamia Scale clasped her hands together, her expression quite composed.

Fortunately, the Grand Magic Games has been held for many years, and the organizing committee has well-developed contingency plans for various unexpected events.

The Pumpkin -headed referee wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, jumped onto the platform, grabbed the spare megaphone, and loudly announced.

"Dear contestants and audience members, Pumpkin!"

"Given Erza's overwhelming strength in first place, clearing all targets in the Pandemonium ahead of schedule, Fairy Tail Team A secures first place in this round of competition with a perfect score, Pumpkin!"

"To fairly determine the ranking and points of the remaining seven contestants, the competition organizing committee has decided to activate a special backup testing phase!"

The Pumpkin -headed referee waved his hand forcefully.

Boom!

The lifting mechanism in the center of the venue started up again.

A peculiar metal pillar, cast entirely from pure black alloy, slowly rose from the ground to the surface.

A huge spherical magic crystal is embedded in the center of the pillar, and a row of blank magic reading screens is arranged at the top.

The Pumpkin -headed referee pointed at the bulky alloy device and loudly explained the rules.

"Magic Power Finder - MPF, Pumpkin!"

"This is a high-precision measuring instrument developed by the Magic Council's Technology Bureau, capable of accurately measuring and converting the instantaneous magical impact of a mage's attack!"

"The remaining seven contestants will step forward one by one and use their most proficient offensive magic to bombard the device head-on!"

"The screen at the top will display precise magic power values based on the bombardment's force. We will strictly determine the final rankings from second to eighth place based on these values, Pumpkin!"
